The House of 1000 Mirrors
Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

【写作技巧】
这是一篇总结加评论式文章。这篇材料是一则寓言故事——千镜之屋,讲的是两只小狗在千镜之屋看到的不同景象,这是因为它们自身态度的不同,导致了它们所看到的结果存在差异。故事内容很简单,但是寓意很深刻,生活就是一面镜子或者说世界上所有的脸都是镜子,从中反射出的都是自身的处世态度。
在写作时,可采取常见的三段式写作,考生首先要根据题目的要求总结所给文章材料的大意,总结时要简明扼要,抓住关键的中心思想;然后,将自己从所给材料中获得的启发或者是对材料的评论作为这篇作文的主体部分来写。最后,一定要对自己的观点进行必要的总结和概括。
